Coltrane died of liver cancer at the age of 40 on July 17, 1967 (i.e. 56 years ago from today).
Feel free to discuss anything about Coltrane and the works he has been featured in. There are many that want to dive into his extant—and some lesser known—works, so, let's recommend and share our favorites.
"Wise One" immediately comes to mind. Such a powerful band playing gently, but without losing its strength.
Just about any version of "Afro Blue," but the Birdland take sticks out in my mind, probably because I've heard that one the most.
The "My Favorite Things" from the Live at the 1965 Half Note gig goes into some really cool territory, especially during McCoy's solo.
The "Out of This World" studio recording is also a crucial one for me.
